1974 WVU Football Highlights

The 1974 season started with high hopes for the football team, but injuries to the first and second-string QBs and others quickly put an end to those dreams. The team finished the season 4-7, with losses to Tulane and Richmond among the other setbacks. Somewhere in this season was the first WVU game I attended. I think it may have been the Miami, FL game, but I was actually more interested in seeing my HS girlfriend who was in the marching band for the weekend (I was at West Liberty at the time) than the actual score of the game. I do remember the band played "I Felt The Earth Move" by Carole King and formed a steam shovel on the field at halftime
